20 Of The Most Impressive Guiness World Records Held By Canada

#20 is actually OUT of this world, lol.

Guinness are the most recognized record-keepers in the world, and the history of the Guinness World Records is a pretty interesting one.

Back in 1951, after getting into a heated argument about which European game bird was the fastest one night at the pub, Guinness Brewery manager Sir Hugh Beaver realized there were probably a lot of these types of debates happening around the world. It led him to the idea of a book that could help settle these drunken deliberations once and for all.

The Guinness World Records have always fascinated me, so naturally I wanted to know which ones Canada held. Here are the results.

The Largest Maple Leaf In The World

Of course, Canada holds this record. The largest maple leaf ever found was 53 cm wide and 52 cm long. It was discovered by a family in Richmond, BC in 2010.

The Most Disliked Video In The World

I'm sure that if someone were to ask you: "What's the most disliked music Video in Canada?" you'd probably answer, "One of Justin Bieber's videos". Well, you'd be right. The music video for "Baby" has nearly 5 million dislikes on Youtube.

The Most Winter Olympic Ice Hockey Gold Medals In The World

The Highest External Walk On A Building In The World

Although not listed on the official Guinness World Record site, we found a few sources that claimed the Edgewalk of the CN Tower is the highest full circle external walk on a building. It is located 356 meters above ground.

The Oldest Baseball Field Diamond In The World

The Largest Parking Lot In The World

Once again, you'd think this record would be held by the US or China in one of those country-sized mega-malls, but the world's largest parking lot actually belongs to the West Edmonton Mall. It holds 20,000 vehicles.

The Largest Dome Igloo In The World

The First Ever UFO Landing Pad In The World

I don't think we had much competition when it comes to this record. Probably because no other country would ever spend money on a UFO landing pad. Question is, what if the alien ship is too big for the pad? Details.
